GLUTEN-FREE BUCKWHEAT BROWNIES

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Brownies image

These are slightly fudge-like but almost cake-like brownies made with semisweet chocolate and buckwheat flour. The texture and flavor are surprisingly light for buckwheat flour! If you like your brownies sweeter, add more sugar.

Time 35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ cup buckwheat flour
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) on convection heat. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Place chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
Pour chocolate mixture into a large bowl and stir in sugar. Cool slightly, then beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix buckwheat flour, baking soda, and salt together. Add to chocolate mixture, stirring constantly to mix well. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

Ingredients

¼ cup (27g) dutch-processed cocoa powder (or natural unsweetened cocoa powder, see note)
3 tablespoons (21g) super-fine blanched almond flour OR 2 tablespoons (17g) buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons (20g) sweet rice flour (different from "white rice flour" or "brown rice flour" - I recommend Koda Farms or Bob's Red Mill)
½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
4½ tablespoons unsalted butter (see note for dairy-free alternative)
1 oz bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (60-70%), divided
¼ cup (52g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (50g) dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, room temperature
½ cup (54g) dutch-processed cocoa powder (or natural unsweetened cocoa powder, see note)
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (42g) super-fine blanched almond flour OR ¼ cup (34g) buckwheat flour
¼ cup (40g) sweet rice flour (different from "white rice flour" or "brown rice flour" - I recommend Koda Farms or Bob's Red Mill)
1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
9 tablespoons (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter (see note for dairy-free alternative)
2 oz bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (60-70%), divided
½ cup (104g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100g) dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup (81g) dutch-processed cocoa powder (or natural unsweetened cocoa powder, see note)
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (63g) super-fine blanched almond flour OR 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (51g) buckwheat flour
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (60g) sweet rice flour (different from "white rice flour" or "brown rice flour" - I recommend Koda Farms or Bob's Red Mill)
1½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
13 tablespoons (¾ cup + 1 tablespoon) unsalted butter (see note for dairy-free alternative)
3 oz bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (60-70%), divided
¾ cup (156g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (150g) dark brown sugar
1½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

Select the size batch and pan you're using from below. Preheat oven to 350°F and line the pan you're using with parchment paper.
Sift together the cocoa powder, superfine blanched almond flour (or buckwheat flour for a nut-free version), sweet rice flour, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
Place half of the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) in a medium to large mixing bowl. Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, cooking until the butter foams and browns, but does not burn. Pour the browned butter over the chocolate chips into the mixing bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes then stir to melt the chocolate.
Whisk in the light and dark brown sugars and vanilla.
Whisk in the egg and mix well. Mixing the egg in well at this step will help create crackly tops.
Whisk in the dry ingredients.
Dump the brownie batter into the prepared pan, pressing it into an even layer. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over the top and bake according to the pan size (see notes), until just set. When in doubt, best to err on the side of under-baking than over baking.
Let cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.
